Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are now finding new opportunities to profit from areas like online training and education.
Electronic training, or “etraining,” is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not interact face-to-face with the teacher or trainer.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
eTraining course sites like Udemy show that the eTraining industry is growing at a significant rate.
Udemy offers over 30,000 online courses covery every subject imaginable, from internet marketing and leadership, to courses about creativity and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy provides over 30,000 ecourses covering all topics!)
The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing and that any subject can be taught online is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for businesses that have unique and valuable information that can help transform the lives of others.
eTraining – Opportunities & Drawbacks
Some of the drawbacks of planning, developing and implementing effective online training courses include:
- Working out methods of delivery,
- Employing easy-to-use tools that don’t require investing additional effort, money or time in a new learning curve,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Grading student performance,
- Providing useful reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account important factors like lack of face-to-face interaction, boredom and lack of motivation, distractions that cause loss of focus, etc.
e-Training – A World Of Possibilities
If you are a product creator, creating an e-learning course that teaches others practical subjects is a great way to grow a subscriber list or develop an online stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost anything can be turned into an ecourse.
(Got a passion for commercial photography, landscaping or technical writing? Turn it into an ecourse!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch can take a lot of time. Chances are, however, you already have training content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a new digital product.
If you’re searching for an inexpensive way to develop an online training product and your website is powered by WordPress, here’s a powerful WordPress plugin that can help you.
